1 commentClosing the Collapse Gap Speech by Dmitry Orlov on the inevitable collapse of the American economy Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I am not an expert or a scholar or an activist.

Bringing our fellow Americans to a greater understanding of the evils of a government-dominated society and the virtues of a free society has always been difficult and frustrating work.

I’ve heard the same thing about Tupac Shakur, the rap star who died in a hail of gunfire in Las Vegas 10 years ago. No one claims to have seen Tupac at a shopping mall. But the amount of music and the two (…)
